Mapping superficial formations: a methodological proposal for systematic cartography of the Brazilian territory

Journal of the Geological Survey of Brazil, 2020
We present a methodological proposal for the systematic mapping of superficial formations applicable on a national scale. The importance of such a proposition stems from the fact that a large part of the Brazilian territory is located in a humid or semi ...

Assessment and Mapping of Geodiversity in Darjeeling Hills, West Bengal, India

Geodiversity is a multifaceted idea that emphasizes how crucial it is to comprehend and protect the geological characteristics and processes that define the Earth and affect how it interacts with other living things. The purpose of this paper is to map and identify the geodiversity sites present in the Darjeeling Hills. With its rich green environment,

Marine geodiversity of northeastern Brazil: a step towards benthic habitat mapping in Pernambuco Continental Shelf

, 2017
The Northeastern Brazil Continental Shelf (NEBCS) is one of the largest shelves off the Brazilian coast, and it is strongly influenced by volcanic and tectonic processes. It can be divided in three portions: Inner shelf (limited by 20 m isobaths), Mid-shelf (from 20 to 40 m depth), and Outer shelf (beyond 40 m depth).

THE GEODIVERSITY INDEX MAP AS A TOOL FOR GEOTOURISM PLANNING WITHIN THE SESIA VAL GRANDE UGGP

, 2023
To ensure the conservation of geodiversity and geoheritage, UNESCO Global Geoparks are increasingly recognised as a good strategy. Geoheritage refers to the elements of the natural geodiversity with some value for humanity, while geodiversity refers to the range of geological features and processes within a given area.
